@Timo: Regarding your workaround of using Compizconfig Settings Manager to set the Composite plugin refresh to 60 Hz (or another fixed value) rather than automatically detect it, I am skeptical that it works.
I found that simply restarting Compiz with 'compiz --replace' is what causes the temporary performance improvement. Have you run for days with your manual refresh setting to see if there is a long-term improvement? In fact, I though my computer had locked up when I first did compiz --replace. It did some flashing stuff with the windows, and then froze up for at least 60 seconds. I almost rebooted it, but them compiz came back up and things were working smoothly! Do I really need to make a cron job to restart compiz every few hours or once a day? I am going to suggest that this is a compiz bug...? I haven't tested on 'Ubuntu Classic' session with Gnome+compiz to see if there is a difference compared with Unity+compiz. I'll do that soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/764330 Title: Move window annoying slow with compiz -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
